Ascension

For a man to achieve all that is demanded of him

he must regard himself as greater than he is.

          Johann W. von Goethe

All created beings are unmanifest in their beginning,

manifest in their interim state, and unmanifest again

when they are annihilated.  So what need is there for lamentation?

           Bhagavad-Gita

Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the

way is easy, that leads to destruction, and those who

enter by it are many.  For the gate is narrow and the way

is hard, that leads to life, and those who find it are few.

           Jesus

Lisa was hearing a lot about some coming event called Ascension. Sometime around 2012 she had heard. She couldn’t pinpoint exactly what this coming event actually was however her New Age friends seemed to be preparing for its unknown arrival date.

One thing Lisa became very aware of is that before one could actually ascend, one had to learn the lessons of this incarnation first, otherwise what was the point? Multiple lifetimes of suffering and rebirthing over in a flash? It appeared too simple, too easy. Some pass the tests/lessons, some do not. And if it all was over that quick, then the reasons of being a conscious caring citizen and human seemed an utter waste of time. Yet Lisa saw millions of people who did the right thing by them selves and communities at the expense of rapid financial gain. They were in fact being guided by their inner knowings.

It almost became logical to Lisa that if one of life’s goals was to become fully aware of all life’s existence and happenings, physically mentally and spiritually and THEN armed with this awareness and knowledge, only then could one make correct and full free will choices based on fact. This even applied to whether one chose to ascend or not in the vast realms of spiritual free choice and lesson. Maybe some people chose not to ascend but remain and possibly assist others?

Lisa saw people filled with passion. Huge driving passion. She wondered too if this was beneficial as it seemed those overcome with single minded passion also had huge gaps in their experiences and lives. The total pursuit of a few things excluded man from others events and thus lead to an existence of imbalance. But Lisa also saw the collection of thousands or lifetimes all building upon each other and all lessons previously learnt preparing the soul for the day of total and full balance.

In her case, Lisa did have a passion. Hers was to learn about everything she experienced. Emotions, fears, loves, desires, perceptions and dreads were all looked at and prodded by Lisa. The motivations by others, the choices they and she made, the outcomes of those choices – were all examined and studied by Lisa. She strove to learn all about history, other countries, her own neighbourhood – everything.

Hers was more of a quest.

Her friends in her life appeared to be madly chasing some kind of rapid advancement or ascension – yet they had no clue as to where they lived now - in this lifetime. They had no inner peace. Lisa had asked them many times for their opinions on matters but they had no clue about what she was saying or why.

Lisa began to see that spiritual planes or density is more to do with Awareness. Conscious awareness. Awareness of who and what we are and full awareness of our surroundings and interactions. The oft said expression that we all create our own reality is exactly that. It depends on the level of Awareness of the person, and how much Knowledge they have. Lisa often giggled when someone was referred to as being dense. Maybe they were just more unaware than most and not intelligence related.  There was a powerful clue in that comment. Scientists were now saying that even matter is more space than matter. Not really dense or hard as we perceive. The electronic atoms building up all in creation were being seen as differing frequencies of energy.

ALL is Energy. Everyone kept saying that. So, if there are such things as multiple dimensions and spirit planes, could it be that large events on earth such as quakes could be just reflections of energy waves from higher realms? She pondered such things as how would a grain of sand, or a plant or tree understand or comprehend the walking by of an elephant, or a galloping horse. Did it appear to the plant that an earthquake was in progress? She then expanded her thinking onto earthquakes and storms. Were they really just energy results from different realms filtering into her realm with the resulting vibrations of energy? Was ascension moving up to where the real action was?

To Lisa, it appeared that all of the world’s major religions had a common theme throughout the ages. This was on the non discussed and taboo subject of interdimensional beings – spirits, ghosts and so on that existed on other realms of consciousness and actuality. And therein was the major point! There were indeed realms that existed apart from Heaven. Why would they do this? Did the religions know something? Was it some form of protection? Or was it something else? Was it to keep humanity in a 3D mindset whereby they didn’t explore the sources of higher knowledge and existence?  With all of its failings warts and all, Lisa knew that her current 3D reality was far from ideal – even going so far as to see that true evil  or something akin to evil existed everywhere. But yet therein was profound beauty in her world that did far more than just please the eyes. It evoked pleasure and wholesomeness in her entire being.

And it also seemed quite obvious to her that once she began to acquire knowledge of ALL things, her awareness began to soar. And it was eerily strange that many ancient texts described some type of End Times that was due soon however none of them ranted about total misery and death but rather things just appeared to stop. Was this a prediction of an interdimensional shift? Was the reality more to do with a cosmic cycle of sorts? Lisa knew by now that everything in nature cycles endlessly. Eternally. And maybe Ascension was in cycles too.

Atoms cycle, seasons cycle, good times and bad cycle. Planets cycle, solar systems cycle and science now said even universes cycle. Astrology cycles and uses stars and planets to predict cycles. It began to appear to Lisa that if indeed mankind was spiritually connected to the stars and universes then the ascension would be a type of cycle that came from the stars.

She decided to learn a bit more before tackling the huge question of ascension however something deep in her being told her that something was definitely on its way. Something was going to happen. And she wondered what was the reason behind all the weather changes, sun spots and solar flares, earth shifting, comets, fireballs and asteroids.

Lisa decided her best way to prepare for some event that was feeling so close was to return to her roots. Her Spiritual roots. Not her physical.

She began to study a lot of ancient spiritual teachings in order to retrain her creative imagination mind. She allowed herself to feel more that think to gain knowledge and answers. She reduced the amount of time performing cold hard logic and balanced it with feeling, music, arts and meditation.

If one of the true meanings of ascension is everything moving into balance or the opportunity to do so, then Lisa needed to get herself into balance now in preparation for it.

She could see the best way not to move into balance would be to hold onto all her old ideas, stay within energy draining power structures and relationships and to be stuck firmly in her 3d world. Power structures by their very nature seek imbalance because there is no respect, sharing, equality or fellowship in any deep way and there is certainly no spirituality.

Lisa resolved to do everything that the masses of people were NOT doing.

She began to practice peace and tolerance for herself and all who entered her life. She carried a positive outlook and began to create (imagine) a better reality – one that she wanted. And not wishful thinking. She practiced seeing the divine in all people and animals and proffered respect in all things. She consciously removed the negative thinking’s of hate, jealousy, lust, greed, fear and anxiety from her mind. The first times she actively tried this were very difficult yet with a little effort and persistence her outlook and reality began to move wonderfully into balance. She began to BE those things she created and move towards.

In her 3D world, she began to avoid more than ever the negative situations that used to drain her, she purposefully stopped looking at clocks to break the control system of time and she began to carefully consider all her choices before committing to anything. She began to alter her choices of food. Lighter, cleaner unprocessed food.

She avoided wishful thinking but replaced it with taking control of her life. She carefully ensured what see was seeing in her world was the true reality and not something she wished to see.

And after just two weeks, Lisa smiled to herself about all the changes that had occurred in just those two short weeks. Maybe she was having her own mini ascension.
